Great atmosphere, but struggling with core UX and control choices.

With a team of 8 people, there's a solid foundation here, but the game currently fights the player more than it engages them. Here are a few major pain points that broke the experience:

• Confusing Control Scheme: Moving with the mouse (Point-and-Click) while having to press"E"on the keyboard to interact creates an awkward disconnect. Usually, it's either full WASD + E or pure mouse controls. Mixing them feels unintuitive.
• UX Friction: When interacting with terminals, closing a UI window forces you to physically walk away and re-approach the terminal just to open it again. A smoother "press to toggle/exit" or direct interaction loop would help a lot.
• Camera Bugs & Direction: Right at the start, interacting with certain terminals completely breaks the camera, zooming it out into an empty black void. Combined with a large open layout and zero initial direction, it's very easy to get lost or trigger a bug loop.
• What should I do, where to go? Finding a broken terminal feels completely random. Sometimes it is shown immediately, sometimes I have spent good time walking around with no clear purpose or clue or path. And only interacted with door, terminal that said "operational", items you can pickup with no idea why (and where are they stored? how to review a list of all items you picked up?).
• Unclear Task Feedback and what is next? : The minigame itself lacks clear feedback (it looks like a timing puzzle, but requires mouse clicks with not enough response on success + it say letters on the screen as if you should click letters, but actually you should click mouse?), and once fixed, there are no indicators pointing to what's next (instructions appeared only once from several tries), leading to blind wandering across the submarine
• UI Issues: The E button message has inconsisten size (sometimes it very tiny, but in other places it is pretty huge). And the button can be half through the ship wall.

The premise on the game page (repairing a ship with a hidden narrative twist) sounds genuinely intriguing, but the execution currently hides it behind control friction and navigation issues. With a few quality-of-life fixes for onboarding and UI, it could feel much more cohesive!

This game looks really cool. I love how it slowly changes as you progress. The sounds and art work really well together to make a fun game.

The minigames were decent. Though I hate the dials one with a passion. The connection minigame I failed first time as I moved my mouse too fast and it went over the wrong area, but didn’t fail it the next times!

I got stuck with the missions talking about area locations, I do not know which area is which so I just blindly had to check doors. Then I got stuck trying to find oil.

Really well made game. Great job!
